Margaret Mason Writes of
Gotham Fads and Fashions
(By Margaret Mason.)
You can't escape a cape, my dear
This summer you must wear
The pelt of some four footed beast
When you do take the air
And hide your slmpely. shoulders 'neath
ISome creature's hide and hair.
Now York, April 28. You have tt go
fur to see the Cape of Good Hope but
you dou't have to go fur to see the cape
of god style, although it it's fur all
light. It maybe gopher too at that but
the chances are. its koonsky or ermine or
mink or sable or mole or Hudson seal.
All the really smart liir capes are made
up of one or a combination of two of
these six soft silky skins selected suit
ably sartorially for summertime show-ins.
As one little sable pelt is a big hit
you may be sure a full ripply cape of
tsable is some knockout. (Such a one
falling to the waist line in front and
Tunning to a deep point below the waist
iu back has a broad rolling collar of un
allotted ermine fastening in a low V
i - w
jdianed front.
Another one of mink with a shawl
collar of ermine has ritted front and a
full dcen rinnle back for all the world
like an old-fashioned dolman. Little
short shoulder capes of Hudson or mole
are quaint and charming and a graceful
wrap is one of chiffon thrice banded,
once at neck, midway and again around
the edge with kolinsky.
Oh where are the white foxes of yes
terday 1 Last summer the foxiest of
summer furs was white fox. This sum
mer some are 'fox, but most are not. To
be sure foxes, red, white or silver are
not to be shrugged off too disdainfully
by summer shoulders but they are set
dom seen in comparison with their last
seasons omnipresence, and the fur cape
really is the thing.
Loner felt broad stoles of the seal
mole and ermine are the greatest rival
of the cape for favor -with the summer
till and' the cape may yet rue the day
that a stole stole its first place in Miss
Summer's wardrobe and affections. The
ermine BtoleB are almost always finish
cd on the ends with a row of the tiny
tails and indeed on both the capes and
stoles of the other furs the tail trim
ming ig very often used. Indeed these
oft repeated tails are an older story but
always good. .
Of all the summer furs ermine best
lends itself from an artistic and adapt
able standpoint to summer toilettes. It
sets off a frock of silk Georgette crepe
or a lingerie gown with equal perfection
and has a moro light and fluffy effect
and a less hentful appearance than the
other furs. In an ermiue cape you may
be at white heat when it is 200 in the
shade but you'll never look it.
As a dress trimming as well as a wrap
ermine is a most eftective summertime
fur and a white Georgette frock band
ed in it is the white of perfection. A
white organdie gown with a band on of
ermino must needs be greeted also Willi
joy and abandon as the summit of sum
mer sartorial art.
As a compromise with going to fur
this summer maribou is .again putting
forth its fine feathers in wide bands
around the neck, sleeves and full skirts
of charmeuse coats in the same manner
that the wide bands of fur were used
on the fur coats this last winter. Aft
er all perhaps it were safer to stick to
maribou if we want to be sure what we
are wearing. When it is marked down
we know it is down but no matter what
mark is on ful we feel we are the mark
if we buy it. When you' are simply dy
ing to buy a mink collarette the furrist
is probably simply dyeing a pussy cat
to sell it to you.. Indeed the fur trade
is a double skin of both 3011 and some
other poor animal. Perhaps it's just as
well you can't split hairs too finely in
the fur buying for it is so much more
comfortable not to know that the er
mine hair you think 3-011 are wearing
is just plain hare.

nual student fcody election of Willam
ette University Harry Bowers is tho
hoice for the presidency during the
1917-1 S year. His opponent was War
ren Boh. The vote was 121 to 77.
Mr. Bowers has always been a con
sistent, hard worker in student body
activities. At present ho is manager
of tho 1918 Wallulah, and a member of
both the varsity quartet and the men's
glee club. In the administration of
tiie student body's affairs he will be as
sisted by Lola C'oolev. vice-nresident-
ueien (.oltra, secretary: and Harold
Aichols, treasurer.
Miss Cboley was the only nominee
for the vice-presidency and received a
total of 197 votes. Miss t'ooley is tho
present president of the junior class.
Tho vote cast for Helen Gnltrn was
160, as opposed to her owionents.
Evelyn Rclgelinan, 3(1. Mr. Nichols re
ceived 124 votes - for treasurer, and
Blaine Bedingfteld, 7.1.

Lylo Bartholomew is one of the new
est members of the student body hav
ing entered tho second semester. How
ever he has efficiently demonstrated
hip business ability, and the students
may be assured that he will make tho
Collegian a paying proposition. Ho
has been of great assistance 111 yetting
ads this semester. Earl Cotton, tho
present manager, was also a nominee
but a late announcement that, he ,did
not wish the position gave Mr. Bar
tholomek a, strong lead. The vote was
120 to 73.
The fact that only 20 votes were
cast is explained by the large number
of men being away in the army, sev
eral students were out of town, and a
majority of the law students did not
vote. The tellers were: Grover Gates,
Sam R. King, Violet Maclean, Fannie
McKennon, Rosamond Gilbert and
Gertrude Cunningham.

The campaign for the new peniten

around setting forth the conditions
which demand that now buildings
should be provided, but his means aro

to support such a campaign, tho men

I Features of Dent Bill j
The bill before the house, known as
the Dent bill and favored by a majori
ty of the military committee provides
raising of the national army and na
tional guard to war strength, first by
volunteers as at present and then, if
necessary, by draft, and authorizes the
president to call for a separate volun
teer army of five hundred thousand.
The army census preparatory for a se
lective draft system is to be begun at
once. y
If, when the census is completed, the
500,000 men have not been obtained by
volunteers, then the president may in
stitute the draft. The committee mi
nority, headed by Representative Kahn,
favors the selective draft recommend
ed by the war department and the
j president in the original general staff
bill.
. Representative Kahn proposed an
amendment to the bill as it now stands
in the house eliminating the authority
for volunteers and providing for imme
diate institution of the draft system.
The senate bill is virtually the same
as submitted by the army war college.
The house bill, as amended, the amend
ment being acceptable to the war de
partment, makes men from 21 to 40
eligible to service. The senate bill ages
are from 19 to 25.
Acting on Amendments.
Early this afternoon under unanimous
consent the senate began consideration
of amendments.
Five minutes was allowed each sen
ator for discussion.
Several amendments embodied "pro
visions for trial of the volunteer system,
changing the whole intent of the bill.
Upon these changes the real fight will
bo centered.
LaFollettc's amendment would pro
vide for a referendum Vote of the na
tion on conscription.
In the house the Moore amendment
was defeated !)) to 6. This would have
stricken out the word "selective," mak
ing tho bill a straight draft.
The house also defeated an amend
ment by Representative, Austin, Tennes
see, providing that no troops be sent
to Kurope, but those who volunteered
for foreign service.
The house defeated amendment by
Representative Hloan, of Nebraska, to
raise the maximum eligible age limit
from 40 to 00 by a vote of 117 to 63.
An amendment by Representative
Norton, of North Dakota, to raise the
maximum limit to 50 years was also
defeated 118 to 52.
The house defeated by a vote of 207
to 6 an amendment by Representative
Miller, Minnesota, which would have
given the age limit for military service
from 19 to 2!) 3"ears, instead of from 21
to 40, as the army bill specifies.
